Abstract

Climb is a generic image processing library. Still considered a prototype, Climb already provides tools that simplify the building of image processing chains such as morphers and the operator. In order to extend this aspect of Climb, a GUI has been developed. This GUI allows the construction of processing chains with no knowledge in programming, while providing a visual and interactive feedback to the user. This technical report describes the various components of this interface. Our approach uses the algorithms and tools defined in the library to construct the back-end logic and the interactive aspects of our graphical application. Since genericity is a key feature of Climb, we have been able to extend its scope beyond image processing, and thus show that we are able to use it in different situations such as the construction of a GUI.
